• Visual C++ Microsoft howto does not work: How to call a managed DLL from native Visual C++ code in Visual Studio.NET or in Visual Studi

  Hi! I have followed the step- by step instructions of this guide: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/828736/en-us This seems to be easy enugh, but i can not compile the c++ client. I only get the errormessage that "ICalculatorPtr" is unknown... Is the example broken or do i miss something Thank you!

• Visual Studio Must uninstall VS2003?

  Installing VS2005 beta 2 gives me an error at setup.exe saying I must uninstall VS2003 pro.  Just to restate, it's not asking to uninstall 2005, it definately says 2003  What's up with that !!!! I am doing some investigation here to see if we can repro this problem.  I believe there should be no block for VS2003 ENT and that the only blocks should be for VS2005 previous builds. Can you try running Aaron's tool to remove old WHidbey builds and then see if install works   I think we may just have the incorrect error message in the UI and that the actual problem is that we are detecting ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Binding Security Attributes and properties

  A lot has changed in the new beta 2 version. especialy names. Where can I find a list of all the security Attributes and Properties names of all the bindings in beta 2. I am confused as so many names of so many things had changed. Where is there a list of all the new names. How can we write a secure service if we do not know the names of all the Security Attributes and Properties. manu Each binding consists of multiple Binding Elements. With the pre-defined bindings (such as WSHttpBinding) you will have some control over the properties, but that control is limited and the defaults have been s ...Show All

• .NET Development How to find Install folder of an Assembly which is in GAC

  Hi, In .NET 1/1.1 to find the install directory of an assembly in GAC, we could read the __AssemblyInfo__.ini file present in GAC and get the install folder of the assembly by reading URL=file:///. For example : [AssemblyInfo] Signature=sda8sd6as6d98a7s9d87a9s7fa MVID=24h23kj4hk23h4k23h4k2h34k2h34 URL=file:///D:/MyInstallDirectory/Bin/MyAssembly.dll DisplayName=MyAssembly, Version=3.1.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=xxxxyyyyxxxx But now in .NET 2 the file __AssemblyInfo__.ini has been removed. So it is not possible to find the install folder by the previous method. Is there any method by which the install dir can be found out for .NET 2 ...Show All

• Visual Studio "Configuration" property not working when building a solution?

  Hi everybody! I'm having some problems building a simple C++ console application using MSBuild (VS2005 Beta 2) From what I've seen I should be able to do this: MSBuild HelloWorld.sln /t:Rebuild /p:Configuration=Debug To build my project for Debug only. However: The above command results in both the Release and Debug configurations being built, it seems like the Configuration property is ignored Turning on diagnostic logging gives me the results below. If you look at the commandline passed to VCbuild.exe no configuration argument is specified, causing all configurations to be built - can anyone tell me what's going on here I' ...Show All

• Visual Basic Where to start... Interacting with someone elses Web Site

  Hello everyone. I've been learning VB for a few weeks now and am trying to figure out how I could automate interacting with outside websites to do common tasks. For example right now the company I work with has many of our end users that work on our application, but then at times need to go to various 3rd party Web Sites to do various tasks. For example, Enter Credit Card information and look up particular information. I would like to have a way that I could interact with those websites through VB and pass the neccessary info to them and then scrape the info they return off of the web page. I've looked through the board some, but ha ...Show All
